While some companies plan to “re-skill” workers, degreed STEM workers and students have the advantage of possess- ing knowledge that cannot be learned in a short training session.
Healthcare IT hiring projections President Obama’s re-election has ensured that the Afford- able Care Act (ACA) will expand, in most forms, nationwide, and that should buoy STEM specialists of all stripes.
The ACA impacts two of the fastest-growing healthcare areas: geriatric care and preventive health services that will need IT professionals in multiple areas. These including federally- mandated health record keeping, data management, big data analysis, diagnostic technology, and cybersecurity.
The baby-boomer retirement tsunami also demands im- proved record-keeping in the cardiovascular and orthopedic surgery areas. Computer technologists who also have public health or medical degrees will be in high demand for years.
